Abstract (en)

Multidimensional coding with a bit count previously not practicable with a ROM is realized using a ROM of realistic size. Two-dimensional planes forming a multidimensional space are each divided into a plurality of areas. Using a ROM (20), multiple sets of area designation bits are generated from part of the information bits that are to be multidimensionally encoded. Area designating bits and intra-area signal point designating bits are combined together and sequentially given as an address to a ROM 24 a plurality of times, thereby sequentially generating two-dimensional signal points forming a multidimensional code. <IMAGE>
